Abstract In this study, it is intended to optimize a high-velocity impact case of composite plate. The selected from literature focused on the failure response advanced carbon–carbon (C/C) composites under impacts. Based stochastic optimization method, three unique models are introduced within present study's scope as dimensionless damage areas front and back sides energy response. difference b...

A genetic algorithm (GA) was adopted to optimise the response of a composite laminate subject to impact. Two different impact scenarios are presented: low-velocity impact of a slender laminated strip and high-velocity impact of a rectangular plate by a spherical impactor. In these cases, the GA’s objective was to, respectively, minimise the peak deflection and minimise penetration by varying th...
